THE FIRST GUE.-Up to yesterday Messrs
Alexander e Joseph, special counsel for
the county of Sacramento to collect the tax
due on the issues of certificates of stock,
have been, so to speak, throwing grass at
the corporations from which that tax is
due. Some of them took the hint and have
settled others have failed to do so, so that
like the old man we read OF in the back
part of Webster's spelling book, these gen.
tlemen have concluded to try something
more solid than notices to pay, and yester-
day they fired the first gun by filing COM
plants against the following corporations,
to wit, the Germana, Sacramento, 0cci-
dental and Union Building and Loan Asso-
Citations. These suits will speedily be fol-
lowed by others against recalcirant corpo-
Tations.
STRAWBERRY SHIPMENTs.-A correspond
ent at Newcastle under date of yesterday
says: The fruit-shipping houses of w. J.
Wilson & Son and George D. Kellogg, of
Newcastle, and of the Penryn Fruit Com
pany, of Penryn, each shipped awberries
by the case ON orders over the mountains
to-day by overland express. Thus do we
find old Placer keeping her position in the
front ranks of the fruit industry. Penryn
and Newcastle and that vicinity is all one
fruit belt, aud can offer more inducements
to the intelligent immigrant than any
country south of the north pole. The pres
ent prospect gives great promise OF boun-
tiful harvest this season, and the influx of
immigration is of such a character that be-
speaks prosperity for years TO come.
LIKE THE LAND.-The colony of Danes
that arrived few days ago from Denmark
to settle upon railroad lands east of Oro-
willie. took possession of their ranches on
Monday, and yesterday commenced the
work of clearing away the trees and brush,
as the land is altogether unimproved. The
settlers seem very much pleased with the
soil. and consider it exactly suited for grape
culture, which they will largely engage in.
The agent of the colony has secured 10000
acres from the railroad company, and ex-
poets within the next three months to have
about fifty Danish families settled.

O'Mara, who few days ago was convicted
